The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1887-08-24

SINCE the landing of the " Plumed Knight
in Ireland, the mugwumps and democrats
have been subject to terrible nervous attacks
and, when it was announced that the Penn
sylvania republicans, at their state conven-
ton held at Harrisburg on the 18th instant,
had declared for JAMES q. BLAINE in 1888,
Old Lady CURTIS actually had spasms.

rOp THE AUtRJC4N SUNDAY

The fire upon legislative candidates by tho
Personal Liberty patty has begun. The cir
cular, Of which we printed copy in our
Albany dispatches yesterday, shows the atti-
.udc which candidates are TO be required to
announce within five days after the receipt
Of tho circular, or incur the hostility OF tho
alleged 5000 voters Of the organization,
Even silence is to be construed as sign OF
opposition Candidates must come to their
knees at once, or take the consequences.
A spccious attempt is made in the circular
to identify the question OF opening the saloons
on Sunday with that Of opening museums,
libraries picture galleries, ETC. Candidates
are asked if they are in favor Of a law opening
| such places also. The two issues are entirely
distinct and cannot be confoundcd Looking
at pictures does not intoAicatc. Few hours
spent in library or a reading room DO not
! lead to Drawing and crime. The museum Is
not the highway to the lookup. There are
many reasons involving public order against
opening the saloons that do not exist IN The
| case Of Libraries, art galleries. etc. The Sun
day issue cannot be obscuIcd in this way.
Indications multiply that all those who from
religious on other motives want to see the
American Sunday preserved are rousing them
selves. 1t is time. The candidates for the
| Legislature who refuse TO pledge themselves
| 10 the Personal Liberty party will be attacked
! Nv a powerful and concentrated opposition,
having at It's command a large corruption fund.
The advocates Of Sunday as il is should make
themselves heard in their support, and that
| speedily.

the first formal proposal for the naturalization
Of the canal and Lord Derby at The British
Foreign Office declined to sanction policy by
which tho passage of ships OF war to and from
India might be prevented. The negotiations
carc to nothing because Lord Derby consid-
cred naturalization in the sense in which tho
word is ordinarily employed in international
law. lie was unwilling to fave the canal
neutralized in the sense in which Belgian terri
tory is protected against invasion. Through
his inaction international action has been de-
fcrcd for ten years
Meanwhile. every principle of neutrality has
been violated by England in the campaign
against Arab, and Egypt has passed under
the control of tho London Foreign Office. a
modified form Of naturalization is now pro-
posed, under which the canal will be kept open
70 men-ofw instead of closed against them
in time of war. With the permanent garrison
at Cairo this is an arrangement that accords
with the true interests Of the British Empire.

To morrow occurs the Baltimore election
for MAYOR and other officers. which Is rccog-
nizcd as certain to have an important bearing
upon the State election in November The
Jndcpcndcnt Democrats and the republicans
believe that if they cut down the Ring majority
10 5000 in the city, the State is safe, but they

THE REPUBLICANS MUST SAFE THE CITY

| THE REPUBLICANS MUST SAVE THE CITY
The Democrats are badly scared about their
local ticket They are realizing that BOSS
Power is leading them to an igno5Ic defeat.
II was fatal day when Tammany Hall con-
scented to an alliance with the County Dcmoc-
racy. Under Thompson's leadership that fac
ton was bad enough, but now the r0gucs run
rot. II is quite in vain that Mayor Hewitt and
Edward Cooper try to make the County De
moclacy look respectable. 1t is nest oil
boodIcrs and Doodle sympathzcrs, and It's last
piece Of work fifty closes its career OF hypoc-
risy, scandal and fraud.
A splendid opportunity is in the
hands Of the Republicans. Ncw-f ork
is Just ready to square accounts with these
Doodle politicians. There is host OF honest
workingmcn and Independent Democrats in the
city eager to join with the Republican party
in thorough work of reform. Now is their
chance and they know it, The final ballot
is all that the oflicc-brokcrs of Tammany Hall
and the County Democracy have left the people,
but it is potent still. Every other function OF
sclf-govcrnmcnt has been usurpcd by these
BOSSES No ono can longer hug to his bosom
the delusion that the people have any voice
in selecting Democratic candidates. Al that
is done by dozen political dIcc-throwcrS who
meet and jugglc, deal. trade and decker until
all decent men arc disguised.
But they have outdone themselves this time.
The people will never allow such man as
Fellows to be the chief prosecuting officer OF
Ncw-York His personal character, not less
than the dishonest motives which led to his
selection by the bosses over Conscientious,
earnest man who had done his duty TO the
public doom him TO a dlSgraceful defeat.
The people want no man for District Attorney
whose health gives way when rch and infu-
Cntal criminals are TO be tried who, while
part of tho machinery Of the prosecution. ac-
ccptS fees from undcScrying convicts TO get
them a pardon; who associates familally with
the freaucntcrs of evil resorts; whose habits
of generosity with other peoples money make
him notorious as a judgment debtor; who ny
pothecatcS his salary TO different moncy-lcndclS
or who, having sold it, collects it himself. No
man with that record could receive the indorse-

The annual report Of the Governor Of Dakota,
who was appointed by President Cleveland
submits facts which disclose an outrage more
disgraccfu TO the party In power than any on
record since the exclusion Of Kansas from the
Union because her people preferred
freedom 10 slavery. II is possible
that in some particulars tho Gov
cinors figures may be exaggerated compelled
to rely in part upon reports Of many suoor-
dnatcs for the less important details, he may
perhaps have misiudgcd in respect to their
accuracy in some things. But there is no room
to question The essential facts embraced In this
official report by Democratic Governor TO
Democratic President.
The Territory has a population larger than
that Of Delaware and Florida combined. These
two States elect three Representatives to make
! laws for us all have four Senators IN the
United States Senate. and cast seven OF the
electoral votes by which President Cleveland
was chosen. A larger population In Dak"ta
has no power in the Senate or House to make
laws for the country, no power IN clccting Il

! that population are supposed 10 be Rcpubllcans.

thrifty, cutcIprising and intelligent population.
is deprived Of political rights as completely
as the inmates Of a pcnitcntiary because most
Of its people de- not prefer Democratic frcc-
trade or Mr. Cleveland for President.
This seems 4 far distant and unimportant
matter to the cIamorous howlcrs for Offices and
spoils who rally rodnd the Doodle ticket in
this city. But the denial Of all political rights
to half a million Of Americans is Just rs great
